We want to keep reaching new people as well as supporting the regular community users that we’ve met over the past 6 months.“We’re so grateful for this grant. It means we’re able to continue offering hot and cold food menus to our local community four times a week, and support our new project, the Westfield Community Pantry. And the longer-term nature of the funding means that we won’t have to worry about the staffing costs for the cook’s position; it’s safe for the next three years.”Further details of the Somerset Community Foundation's Community Fund can be found here
